Chapter 40 Capital
"Where did the yin wind come from?!"
Just as this thought flashed in Zhao Tianbao's heart, he only heard a hula and a scream.
Smoke and dust rose from the field, and two men in suits and a man in a leather jacket lay not far away with a terrible howl, and it was just a few of them who worked together to press Lu Bo to the ground.
"What's wrong! What happened! ”
Zhao Tianbao's eyelids jumped in fright by this sudden change, and he retreated far away in fear.
It wasn't until the dust settled that he and the others saw that there was one more person in the original field.
There's an extra man who looks ordinary.
The man was slowly helping the dusty old man up and asked with concern, "Lu Bo, how are you?" You okay? ”
Lu Bo, who was still in a daze, just reflexively replied blankly: "It's okay...... It's okay...... Ay? ”
"Xiao Heng!"
Until he realized who was coming, he was startling.
"What are you doing here?! Let's go! Come on...... It's none of your business, don't get involved......"
His first reaction was to tell Li Heng to go quickly, don't get involved in this mess of his own family, there will be no good results in getting into trouble with this group of guys!
Li Heng shook his head, he couldn't listen to this kind of talk.
Even though he has strong mental power, he already has excellent emotional stability, and after seeing Lu Bo's appearance, he will inevitably have blood surging in his chest, and a will called "anger" can't stop rising.
This unrelated old man who is as kind to him as a mountain, he has nothing to rely on except himself.
Even to put it another way, this is one of Li Heng's obsessions.
Since we can't give up everything in the ordinary, we must cherish everything in the ordinary.
It is precisely because they are ordinary that they are more fragile, if they fail, they will regret not coming again, and all regrets cannot be made up, this feeling Li Heng must never experience again.
"Which one are you? How did you get here? ”
Zhao Tianbao looked at Li Heng from a distance, his brows furrowed and he asked.
didn't answer, didn't even look at him, Li Heng just wanted to hold the old man who was helped up to the side and sit down.
Seeing that he was being ignored, Zhao Tianbao's eyebrows and eyes suddenly twitched, and his hideous face floated again.
He can't help others to delight him so much! This made him very unhappy!
"Fuck off"
Li Heng spoke in a low voice and whispered to the men in suits and vests who were blocking him.
The man who suddenly appeared, with an inexplicable terrifying momentum, this group of guys who acted as thugs for security also had a sense of fear at the first time, and they were so frightened that they took half a step back.
Li Heng turned his head again to look at Lu Chengfei, who had just probed his brain from the room and cowered, and immediately shouted at him: "Come here!" Hold Lu Bo aside and guard it well! ”
Lu Chengfei, who was still confused, saw that he broke in in this chaos, and this "Fa Xiao", who had always been uneasy with him, immediately said stiffly: "It's you?" What are you doing here! What is your business in my family, I ......"
However, the next moment, Li Heng's gaze collided with him head-on, and under that gaze, Lu Chengfei's scalp was numb in an instant, and his vest was surging with cold sweat, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying.
Goo Dong~ He couldn't help but tremble and swallowed his saliva, and then the ghost made the god almost walk over, and according to Li Heng's instructions, he held his father steadily, and the whole scene was very harmonious and peaceful with father and son.
Even Lu Chengfei himself may not understand why he would do such a thing, and do such a thing that offends Zhao Tianbao and makes him absolutely have no good fruit to eat in the future.
But all he felt just now was - scared!
He just instinctively felt that if he didn't do what Li Heng said, he would be miserable, very miserable!
Just now, the eyes were like a tiger staring at a dog.
But this scene only made the other person crazy, and made Zhao Tianbao feel as if his face was being trampled on the ground.
"You fucking fools!! Just let him come and go, I'll feed you! ”
was yelled at by the boss like this, and those gangs who demanded accounts reacted one after another, and immediately wrapped up and surrounded Li Heng.
At this time, there was another person who looked at Li Heng with wide old eyes, and his body, especially his legs, began to uncontrollably swing, and he even stammered when he spoke
"That's it...... That's him! That's him! Brother Zhao...... Brother Zhao, this is the person...... He was the one who hit me! ”
Cheng Wei pulled Zhao Tianbao's arm sleeve as if he was crazy, shaking constantly, and pointed at Li Heng with his right hand that was not yet healed.
Zhao Tianbao was annoyed by him, and shook him away with a backhand.
"Very good, then settle the old accounts together! Just don't kill it, the medical expenses are all covered! ”
Li Heng glanced at this guy who kept shouting, and he also knew who this guy was.
Zhao Tianbao, the son of Zhao Liuhe.
dares to be so arrogant because of his biggest reliance, and behind him is his father Zhao Liuhe.
Zhao Liuhe, a well-known figure in Pingshan Town.
A typical case of salted fish turning over in the old countryside in the 80s, it is said that the hometown is in Zhaozhuang, not far from Li Heng Village.
Her mother has a bad reputation and seems to be a widow, but she is not so well-behaved, and she has married many husbands before and after, so it can be said that she has a hometown in these ten villages and eight townships.
Relying on a good skin, although she has remarried many times, there is always a farmer who takes a fancy to her face and plate to take over, and it is not clear whether this Zhao Liuhe is her first husband's cub.
Zhao Liuhe's mother has always only loved to enjoy Qingfu, every time she marries a household, she is not like a peasant girl, and she will never live a good life, if her husband is sick and can't do it, then she will immediately kick it away and find another home.
Such a woman, let alone think about how she can educate her cheap son who doesn't even know who his father is.
Zhao Liuhe was just left to fend for himself.
Maybe it's the dragon that gives birth to the dragon, the phoenix gives birth to the phoenix, and the mouse son can make holes, this Zhao Liuhe doesn't have any other skills, but he learned the trick of the trick that his mother is best at.
Every time he was caught stealing chickens and dogs in the cooperative, he could immediately act out a big drama of Dou E's injustice, pretending to be a pitiful one, and coaxing the production team to open up to him.
In the long run, Zhao Liuhe's courage is getting bigger and bigger, and all kinds of behaviors are getting worse and worse, and he has even got a "nickname" in this township - Zhao Dog.
The so-called dogs are disgusting, and when they go to any village, the dogs bark before they can smell the smell.
And his later career is also full of bad deeds, casually ask the old people of the same generation in ten miles and eight towns to know that this guy has done a lack of morality.
In the early years, Zhao Liuhe did the work of collecting duck down in the countryside, in order to collect the duck feathers of the duck farm in Nanliang Village at a low price, he secretly dug the ridges of the rice field, at that time the farmers had just sprayed pesticides on the rice fields, and the water flowed down the soil canal into the duck pond, and most of the ducks died with medicine.
Then he frantically lowered the price on the grounds of dead ducks, and forcibly took all the duck feathers from the duck farm.
Later, he also opened a scrap yard in the town, and in order to monopolize the market and suppress competitors, he secretly damaged the chain of a tricycle of a scrap collector, resulting in a car accident on the way, and the man was half-paralyzed.
The list goes on and on, and even in his history, there are many incidents involving human life.
However, these things are all due to the backward criminal investigation methods of that era, the inability to collect many evidence, and the lack of legal awareness of the villagers in the mountain villages, etc., which led to his Zhao Liuhe always being able to get away with it.
Since then, he has started a variety of businesses, from a scrap yard to a cement mortar mixing plant, a leather processing factory, and a number of brick kilns in rural areas.
The business is getting bigger and bigger, and after he has money, he has recruited a lot of idle people from the local community to act as the security guard of his "Zhao family" and protect his assets.
There were foreign investors who came to open a factory in Pingshan Town, but they were so harassed by him, a local snake, that they had no choice but to quit.
Later, his business scale expanded to the county, and he won a lot of commendations and awards - "Outstanding Farmer Entrepreneur of Pingshan Town", "Outstanding Entrepreneur of XX County", "Representative of Wealthy Farmers in 200X", ......
Most of the market in Pingshan Town was monopolized by this Zhao Liuhe, and what Zhao Development Co., Ltd. was established, and he became a household name in the entire county, and he returned to his hometown Zhaozhuang to build a Zhao ancestral hall?
A person who can't even figure out who his own father is, and whose name is casually named by his mother, actually builds an ancestral hall, and I don't know which ancestor he worshipped.
Zhao Gou thinks that no one dares to mention it anymore, and everyone has to respect him as "Mr. Zhao" and "Boss Zhao".
And the almost innumerable things he has done in the past that lack morality and smoke and lose his conscience will not be mentioned, at least not in any public place.
Since then, the former Zhao Gou has become the half king of Pingshan Town.
More than half of the farmer's crops must be processed only at the processing plant he runs, and all the processed ash is directly recycled into feed for his farm at a low price.
Now, if a villager wants to build a new house, eight out of ten bricks are fired by his kiln, and what is the quality of the masonry?
You can't say it, if you say it, you're questioning the excellent companies evaluated in the town.
In Journey to the West, there is a passage in which Sun Wukong describes his connections - "The Jade Emperor knows me, and the King of Heaven can follow me; The twenty-eight nights are afraid of me, and the nine stars are afraid of me; The city god kneels to me, and the sky in Dongyue is terrifying to me; Ten generations of Yan Jun have been my servants, and the Five Roads Rampant God has been my descendant. Whether it is the Three Realms and the Five Divisions, or the Rulers of the Ten Directions, they are all familiar with me."
Now Zhao Liuhe is almost such a status in the county, and he is the "Monkey King" in this county, more than ten towns and towns, and more than 100 villages.
And why Zhao Tianbao, as the chief "monkey monkey grandson", has such a posture, it is understandable.
Of course, although this Zhao Tianbao is arrogant, he is naturally not a fool, and he is just looking for trouble.
The deeper reason for this incident, Li Heng can actually understand.
On the surface, this is a simple conflict of asking for gambling debts, but behind it is a small reflection of the rural layout of his Zhao family in the entire county.
This is reflected in a deep-rooted problem, that is, rural land circulation.
Land annexation, since ancient times, is those gentry as the representative of the landlord class to land rent, land tax as the reins of the poor peasant tenants, when there are natural disasters, the common peasant households have to mortgage acres of real estate in exchange for large households money and grain, and then become tenant slaves, by working for the landlord in exchange for a place to live.
In modern times, it is the process of land privatization and development led by private capital represented by real estate businessmen, through commercial operation and the study of some land policy loopholes at the grassroots level, to find a breakthrough to occupy land from villages and towns at low prices, to transform township enterprises or concentrated housing areas, to break the original small-scale peasant economic model, to gather farmers who have left the land to new factories and residential areas, and at the same time use them as consumption power to digest the production capacity of new enterprises, or export to earn profits, this is the modern enclosure movement.
Originally, the modern enclosure represented by the latter could release the potential of land to a certain extent, promote rural development, and improve the living standards of farmers.
However, all this requires a premise, that is, those non-governmental capitalists who dominate the circulation of land must abide by the rules, speak of conscience, and not oppress the peasants to sell their land at low prices, not buy off peasant labor at low wages, and not harvest peasants' savings with high consumption.
But is this possible?
The profit-seeking nature of capital itself determines that it is a luxury, and coupled with the human nature that cannot stand the test in the first place, it is obvious how everything will develop.
And Zhao Liuhe, a private capitalist who climbed up from the lowest level of the people by all kinds of invisible means, not only did he have the slightest sympathy for the common people because of his former status at the bottom, but instead intensified his monopoly and dominated the clothing, food, housing and transportation of hundreds of thousands of people in most of the county, and the people fattened themselves.
However, with the improvement of national policies, the process of rural land circulation has become more and more rigorous, and the loopholes in land use rights, land ownership, and the process of expropriation of land and acres have been continuously repaired, and farmers' understanding of land policies and laws has improved, this kind of loophole has become more and more difficult to penetrate.
Even his Zhao family can't blatantly challenge national policies, but the pace of expansion and greed will not stop, so some insidious tricks that are not on the table have been resorted to one after another.
Among them, there are private casinos to lure some good gamblers to step in, and then use the pig killing plate to trap the pits, so that they lose to the point that they have to bet on their family's property, and those who do not obey will coerce and lure them to do everything, and finally take a piece of land for nothing at a very low price or even no real money at all.
Of course, of course, Lu Chengfei's stupid pig who is addicted to gambling can't see it, otherwise he wouldn't have fallen here.
Not only that, but the farmers who often lose their fields do not end there, but introduce them to work in their own factories or construction sites after the target loses their source of income, and at the same time reduce their labor wages.
And the targets they choose are premeditated, often those fields have a key geographical location in a whole agricultural area, or water canals, or upstream farmland, or occupy the four directions, after obtaining these fields, they will get some machinery or excavate the land, apply all kinds of chemicals, and eventually cause the surrounding fields to gradually become uncultivateable, either abandoned or sold at a low price or leased to the Zhao company.
Although there are also farmers who have sued with them, firstly, the legal proceedings process is complex and costly, and secondly, the methods used by the Zhao family are often on the edge of the law, even if some lawsuits are lost, they always earn money on the overall level.
How can civil power compete with capital?
No!
So, that's why Li Heng exists here!
